“How Can A Funeral Procession Be Called Public Nuisance?”: Madras HC Dismisses Caste Association's Plea With Costs, Calls It Inhuman
Live LawThe Madras High Court recently dismissed a petition filed by Kammavar Samuga Nala Sangam seeking directions to the authorities to not allow private persons to conduct funeral procession march through their residential streets and not to create public nuisance. Wondering how a funeral possession could be called a public nuisance, the court added that the association should aim to address the welfare measures of its members and should not degrade itself by filing such irresponsible petitions. We have expressed our dissatisfaction in view of the inhumane approach of the Association in this writ petition, which if entertained, could possibly result in disharmony and chaos among the villagers,” the court said. The court also noted that the association had not shown any legal right to prevent the villagers from conducting funeral possession on public streets.
